History

Phil Morrison drew the Laser 2000 in 1997 for what was then Laser Performance Europe, and it launched in 1998 as a step up from single handed trainers into two sail, two person sailing. More than 2,200 hulls have been built, and the class is still in production under RS Sailing.

Sailing Characteristics

A stable, self draining hull with a furling jib and a single line gennaker hoist makes the boat easy to sail short handed, while the reefing main lets you scale power down in a blow. It suits club racers, family crews and sailing schools moving students toward spinnaker work.

Racing Context

Raced mainly through UK and Irish sailing clubs with an annual national championship, plus a strong presence in sailing school fleets across Australia and Europe.
